Not going to read the whole thread, but if Murrell’s is gone, Shreveport really has nothing left. A legit national treasure. First place I ever tried "green goddess" salad dressing. Their biscuits and gravy were top notch.
Also Southern Maid donuts. They were what Krispy Kreme could only wish to be in their wildest dreams. Those 70's-90's white boxes with the green print showing a walking dog are still my gold standard of donuts.
Edit: Oh, and also where I saw Type O Negative and got to talk to the lead singer at a meet n' greet before the concert the night I tuned 21. RIP, Peter Steele.
Edit 2: I saw Piccadilly in Mall St Vincent mentioned - that and El Chico's were my pawpaw's favorite restaurants, and the last places I got to hang out with him before he passed. I should stay out of this thread, someone is cutting onions.

Murrell’s
The original has been closed a while. It was my favorite place to go back to when I went home. It was the perfect old fashioned, all night diner with Green Goddess dressing and pie. Some of those ladies that worked there had probably been there fore 40 years.

El Chicos
I think they are all closed now. The food was probably average at best, but it's the only Mexican food I knew in HS in the 70s. I think I went to all of them at some time or another. Sad when they closed the Madison Park one. That area was once so nice. No telling what it is now.
And Thrill Hill has been smoothed out!
